Old Dog didn't know the exact amount, but based on his recent investigations of the Feng family, he could guess the approximate figure.
In the end, it all benefited Chu Yuying.
That damn woman...
And that blond guy too!
How dare they try to take the peach from right next to their own mouth?
The old dog laughed in anger, his eyes growing even more sinister.
He insisted on spitting out the meat that was already in their mouths!
This money originally belonged to that old dog.
That old dog was the one who set his sights on them first!
How dare they?
How dare you?!
"Mmm...mmm..."
Feng Yang heard everything the old dog muttered. For a moment, disbelief flashed in his eyes. He tried desperately to struggle, but he was firmly trapped in the chair and couldn't move at all.
This man, who once enjoyed Feng Yang's trust, was his grandfather's best friend...
They've actually been eyeing their family all along?
Feng Yang smiled bitterly to himself.
Who exactly did their family offend?
Even if Chu Yuying doesn't swindle my savings, I'm afraid the old dog will still succeed.
Why did so many scammers target someone who just wanted to fulfill their family's wishes?
Are there really no truly good people in this world?
With a soft exhale, Feng Yang stopped struggling. He seemed to have given up hope, his eyes no longer showing any anger, and an extreme calmness appeared on his body.
Since he knows there are no good people in this world, then... he won't feel guilty about anything.
Feng Yang had already prepared himself mentally.
and……
Feng Yang's silent eyes flashed with a sharp glint.
"Damn it, why is it so slow?"
Old Dog frowned, holding Feng Yang's phone in his hand. He had sent the text message to Xia Che using Feng Yang's phone, and there had been no reply to it yet.
Logically speaking, if they were truly kindred spirits, Xia Che wouldn't have come to see him after succeeding.
But the old dog had his trump card.
—He was the one who inquired about Xia Che yesterday. Although he didn't get any useful information, Lao Gou was confident that Xia Che had received the message that he was asking about him.
With all the years of development in Jiang City, Lao Gou has only just not received any news about Xia Che yet. It's only a matter of time before Lao Gou finds Xia Che.
Honestly, if a fellow professional were to openly inquire about my whereabouts, I, Old Dog, would never be able to sit still.
Therefore, Xia Che will definitely come.
Just as he was pondering this, the abandoned factory finally started to move.
Boom—
With a loud crash, the dilapidated door was kicked open again by the newcomer.
"You must be Old Dog?"
The gate, already dilapidated and unable to withstand the weight, was kicked down completely and crashed to the ground, kicking up a cloud of dust.
Dust rose, obscuring the figure of the newcomer, but a loud laugh came from it. The old dog could not hear any fear in it, and this discovery made him frown even more deeply.
"It's me. You're the little beast who stole my peach, aren't you?"
Old Dog snorted coldly, "So what if this person has a lot of presence?"
Now that we're here, we have no choice but to obey him!
"A kid who hasn't even grown his first hair yet, and you're already trying to scam people? Do you even have the ability to cover your tracks?"
Old Dog sneered. He had already investigated Xia Che's background. Together with his accomplice, the two of them were not even older than him. These two greenhorns actually dared to touch the target he had his eye on.
No matter what, we have to make them spit out everything they've swallowed today!
"You're right, I'm no match for an old hand like you. Sigh... You're a seasoned veteran, while I'm just a high school student. How could I possibly beat you?"
Xia Che's eyes were smiling. As the dust settled, the face that the old dog remembered so vividly was revealed. "You were the one asking about me yesterday, weren't you? What, now that I'm here, what do you want with me?"
His inner self was not as calm as he appeared. After glancing over and confirming that Feng Yang was alright and had only been tied up, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Feng Yang had invited him out. He had wanted to explain everything to Feng Yang in person, because if something happened to him again, Xia Che would probably never forgive him.
"I can't have come to you just to chat... Let's be frank, their family is my target. It's not right for you to jump in and steal the peach, is it?"
The old dog tilted its head, and with the horrifying scar on its nose, its squinting smile sent chills down one's spine.
"Just tell me, what do you want?"
Xia Che withdrew his gaze from Feng Yang, his expression remaining calm and composed.
Feng Yang had been watching Xia Che ever since Xia Che arrived, his eyes filled with confusion.
It was all because Feng Yang saw something... on Xia Che.
magnanimous?
Yes.
A despicable swindler who had swindled away decades of hard work from their family suddenly showed a hint of honesty.
It was rather incongruous for Xia Che to have such a thing on him.
Feng Yang initially wanted to scoff at Xia Che, but then he remembered that Xia Che had agreed to meet him without hesitation, and Feng Yang felt somewhat confused.
This conman, who agreed to meet with me after succeeding...
Where does his confidence come from?
"I want the money you swindled from the Feng family, remember... all of it!"
Old Dog grinned and suddenly pulled a sharp knife from his sleeve. The blade was terrifying, and judging from its design, it should be a kind of pig-slaughtering knife.
I don't know how he managed to hide such a long blade in his sleeve. Wasn't he worried at all that the sharpened blade might cut his veins...?
"I didn't deceive the Feng family. But you... you kept talking about targets, targets. Did you plan to swindle the Feng family?"
Xia Che's eyes flickered slightly as he asked in return.
"Tch... Kid, at a time like this, why are you still pretending to be innocent? We're all in the same boat. Ever heard the saying, 'Those in the same trade are like fathers' killers'? You stole from the person I was planning to scam, so it's not reasonable for me to ask for this money back?"
Old Dog scoffed disdainfully. He couldn't understand why this kid was still pretending to be innocent when everyone had already revealed their hand.
"So... you planned to deceive the Feng family from the beginning. Even if I hadn't shown up, you would have still done it. And now you've kidnapped Feng Yang. You..."
Xia Che sighed, shook his head, and looked at the old dog with pity: "It's all over."
No sooner had the words been spoken than a series of alarming sirens suddenly blared outside the abandoned factory, coming from all directions and completely surrounding the entire building.
It was like a god beating a drum, relentlessly striking at the old dog's soul.
"You called the police?!"
The old dog paused for a moment, then instantly understood everything.
